HASEGAWA 1/32 SCALE MITSUBISHI
J2M3 RAIDEN (JACK) TYPE 21
®
®
The first 1/32 J2M3 kit since the 1960s!
Designed by Jiro Horikoshi, the Mitsubishi J2M could fly faster – and
climb even higher – than the celebrated A6M Zero. The J2M3 Type 21 was
distinguished by a powerful MK4R-A Kasei 23a engine, two wing-mounted 20
mm Type 99 Model I cannons and two wing-mounted 20 mm Type 99 Model II
cannons. While it was no match for the Allies’ P-51D Mustang, the J2M3 was
rather successful against strategic bombers like the B-29 Superfortress.
❚
❚
This exceptional, newly tooled 1/32 scale kit includes all the parts you
need to build a realistic, highly detailed pilot figure.
Marking options include: 1. I.J.N. 352nd N.F.G. Lt. J.G. Yoshihiro Aoki,
Code: 352-20, Ohmura A.B., March 1945 and 2. I.J.N. 302nd N.F.G. Lt.
Susumu Ito, Code: Yo-D152, Atsugi A.B., March 1945.
Did you know?
❚
❚
❚
The J2M3 hasn’t been produced as a
1/32 scale model since the 1960s, when
the moldings were lost in a shipwreck.
The I.J.N. would often outfit J2M3s with
two 132-pound (60 kg) bombs or two
53-gallon (200 L) drop tanks.
Visitors to the Planes of Fame Museum
in Chino, California can see the J2M in
person, along with the world’s only
flyable A6M Zero.
From the Experts:
A model 40+ years in the making, the Hasegawa 1/32 Scale

Bringing the “thunder” since 1994.
The F-15I is a specialized version
of the F-15E designed for the Israeli
Air Force. Nicknamed “Ra’am”
(“thunder”), the F-15I differs from
American F-15Es primarily in the design
of its avionics systems. Early models were
equipped with Sharpshooter targeting pods, but were replaced with
the F-15E’s more effective LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting
Infrared for Night) pods. The F15I also features the Elisra SPS-2110 Integrated
Electronic Warfare System, which takes the place of the F-15E’s Radar Warning
Receivers.

So fast, it’s almost criminal.
Regarded as one of the best sports cars of the 1970s, the
Nissan 240’s sleek looks and criminally fast speeds
made it incredibly fun to drive. One of the most
popular versions of this stylish vehicle was the
Fairlady ZG, which was available in Japan from
1970-1973. It featured an extended fiberglass
“aero-dyna” nose, a rear spoiler, riveted wide
over-fenders, acrylic glass headlight covers
and fender-mounted rearview mirrors. Available
exclusively in Japan, American drivers could
purchase a “G-nose” kit from dealers to convert a

The latest addition to the Ma.K. ZbV 3000 lineup.
The sci-fi series “Maschinen Krieger ZbV 3000” was created by
artist Kow Yokoyama in the early 1980s. It appeared in the popular
magazine “Hobby Japan,” until copyright issues forced the
company to cease publication by the end of the decade. The
series’ realistic “industrial” design was inspired by armor and
aircraft from both World Wars, as well as films like “Blade
Runner” and “The Road Warrior.” “Maschinen Krieger”
continues to have a devoted cult following, following its
celebrated return to “Hobby Japan” magazine in 2009.

Strafe seafaring targets with precise piloting.
Along with the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 formed the backbone of the
Luftwaffe’s air defense during WWII. The “F-8”
variant was modified especially for extended
periods of low-altitude flying. Another upgrade,
the FuG 16 ZS radio unit, allowed pilots to
communicate with combat units stationed on the
ground. Later “F-8” models (including the F-8/U2)
were often outfitted with the TSA 2 A weapons sighting system and a 1,543-pound
(700 kg) BT 700 torpedo bomb to destroy Allied ships.

Introduced in 1995, the Diablo VT Roadster featured an all-wheel drive set-up with a

carbon fiber targa top and removable roof section. The engine lid was heavily modified
so that the V-12 engine had proper ventilation when the roof covered it. Servo-assisted
Brembo® four-wheel disc brakes provided superior stopping power. Kit features a screwon chassis, rolling wheels with metal axles, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and

Set sail for adventure on the high seas.
Spain’s celebrated naval architect Álvaro de Bazán first designed the prototype for the
galleon in the 1550s. Galleons were the most versatile of all sixteenth-century ships.
Lighter and faster than carracks, galleons served as transports, trading vessels and
warships. They were more affordable, too; historical records show that five galleons
could be built for the same price as three carracks! This easy-to-build kit features
textured sails, a decorative stern castle, side oars, authentic flags and a display stand.

IL-4 and it was equipped with faster, 1,100 hp M-88 engines. The IL-4 was
produced for two more years, with over 5,200 built in all. This limited
